Tête à tête - Iran conflict is 'not a justified war': Former US special envoy for Iran Robert Malley

by Marc PERELMANMarch 5, 2026
Robert Malley, former US special envoy for Iran under Joe Biden and a key negotiator of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, told FRANCE 24 that the US-Israeli war against Iran is "not a justified war, not a necessary war and not a lawful war". For Malley, the "cacophony" over the conflict's rationale "reflects the fact that this is a joint Israeli-US decision" and a marriage of what US President Donald Trump "saw as a historic opportunity and a man who is driven by hubris and self-aggrandizement".
